And the band also got some serious love from Brooklyn Vegan in their review of Petty Fest, a musical tribute to Tom Petty’s tunes:

"One of my favorite performances-- and this took me by surprise -- was the dude from Augustana singing "You Got Lucky."…his voice was sick and he had a commanding presence-- like a subdued Mick Jagger with the wrist at the hips with a dash of Joe Cocker in the vocal tone."
